What event is believed to have led to the formation of our moon?
The Fission Theory: This theory proposes that the Moon was once part of the Earth and somehow separated from the Earth early in the history of the solar system. The present Pacific Ocean basin is the most popular site for the part of the Earth from which the Moon came. This theory was thought possible since the Moon's composition resembles that of the Earth's mantle and a rapidly spinning Earth could have cast off the Moon from its outer layers. However, the present-day Earth-Moon system should contain "fossil evidence" of this rapid spin and it does not. Also, this hypothesis does not have a natural explanation for the extra baking the lunar material has received.
The Capture Theory: This theory proposes that the Moon was formed somewhere else in the solar system, and was later captured by the gravitational field of the Earth. The Moon's different chemical composition could be explained if it formed elsewhere in the solar system, however, capture into the Moon's present orbit is very improbable. Something would have to slow it down by just the right amount at just the right time, and scientists are reluctant to believe in such "fine tuning". Also, this hypothesis does not have a natural explanation for the extra baking the lunar material has received.
The Condensation Theory: This theory proposes that the Moon and the Earth condensed individually from the nebula that formed the solar system, with the Moon formed in orbit around the Earth. However, if the Moon formed in the vicinity of the Earth it should have nearly the same composition. Specifically, it should possess a significant iron core, and it does not. Also, this hypothesis does not have a natural explanation for the extra baking the lunar material has received.
The Bible theory: God created it in the 4th day.

Who did the NAACP hire for a US Supreme Court case?
You may be asking who argued Brown v. Board of Education,(1954) before the US Supreme Court. The lead counsel for the Petitioner (Brown, et al.) was Thurgood Marshall, who later became the first African-American to serve on the Court.
Attorney Charles Hamilton Houston, former Dean of Howard University Law School, hired Marshall to work with the NAACP. Thurgood Marshall later became a founder of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, an independent, but related, arm of the national organization responsible for much of the legal battle for African-Americans' civil rights.
The NAACP and the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund brought many cases to the US Supreme Court under the leadership of prominent African-American attorneys. Thurgood Marshall was, perhaps, the best remembered by history, but was by no means the only lawyer working for civil rights, nor was Brown the only case the NAACP sponsored.

What would the impact be on the US if women were banned from voting?
Banning women from voting in the U.S. would significantly undermine democratic principles, leading to a loss of representation for half the population. It would exacerbate gender inequalities and may incite widespread protests and civil unrest. The political landscape would shift dramatically, likely resulting in policies that do not reflect the needs and interests of women, ultimately harming societal progress and cohesion. Such a move would also draw severe criticism from the international community, damaging the U.S.'s reputation as a leader in democracy and human rights.
What magazine did NAACP publish?

What two laws were overthrown in case fought by the NAACP?
In the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the NAACP successfully challenged and ultimately overthrew the legal doctrine of "separate but equal," established by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). This ruling declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, effectively overturning state laws that mandated separate educational facilities for African American and white students. The decision was a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement, leading to greater efforts to dismantle segregation across various aspects of American life.
